The main Injector Particle Production Experiment (MIPP) at Fermilab –Status and plans
Rajendran Raja Fermilab
- Review Status of MIPP – E907- Took data till 2006 --18 million events– Analysis status
- Physics case for MIPP-Non perturbative QCD, scaling laws, missing baryon resonances
- Review the status of hadronic shower simulation models
» Status of particle production data
- Difficulties in using shower simulation models in experiments such as MINOS, MiniBoone,
Atmospheric neutrino production , muon collider neutrino factory particle production, Project X kaon production, mu2e expt fluxes all have a common source.—our lack of knowledge of the strong interaction /non-perturbative QCD
- Review status of MIPP Upgrade Proposal FNAL-P960
» to obtain much higher statistics/quality data -- Deferred till we publish
- Ways to use new data directly in simulators—Hadronic Interaction libraries
- Conclusions
